3. Physiological – Lowest form.
Breathing, food, water, sex, sleep, excretion, homeostasis
These are the 7 basic needs within life, a human automatically feels the need for
food and water mainly, having a dry throat makes you crave water straight away, a
grumbling stomach makes you automatically crave food. A body would not be able
to function without sleep, sleep is a basic need to keep you sane and to keep your
body functioning correctly. Sex is another basic need, without any morals and
having this as the basic need of life this is when people basically just have sex
because they feel it’s a basic need, not because of any feelings behind it or any
purpose to produce life but just because they feel they want to and have to, using it
on more of a selfish need. Homeostatis is where you don’t feel that anything is fully
right or fully wrong, with homeostasis on a physiological level it means you aren’t
fully aware of what could happen in certain situations so you do it anyway.
Furthermore with excretion this is also a need, as you feel straight away in a
morning that you have to eat and empty your bowel. Due to having such a small
minded trail of thought with this lowest form then this is what you could relate to
babies, as they do what they want when they want and get what they need when
they need it without caring about how it could effect others such as waking parents
up in the middle of the night crying and also not caring if they cry because they are
hungry if their parents are half way through eating, only caring about their own
needs and nobody else's.

4. Safety.
Security of: Body, employment, resources, morality, the family, health,
property.
Security is the second to lowest form, this is where you begin to
have some morals in life instead of continuously thinking about
your own needs. You begin to want to take care of your family,
sharing food and providing shelter for them… creating your own
property and space when your children could be raised.
Moreover you begin to care more about employment, providing
for yourself and your family and ensuring everything is stable or
even just knowing your limits of what you can and can’t spend.
You care more about your body and how you treat yourself such
as the health and care of yourself and others around you,
knowing what is right and wrong when it comes to doing things.
Relating back to the child theory, this is when babies begin to
want to learn things for themselves such as walking, potty
training and talking, helping to take care of themselves instead of
constantly been taken care of.

5. Love/Belonging.
Friendship, family, sexual intimacy.
For the third form, this is where you begin to feel connections with
people instead of just caring about yourself. This is where friendships
begin to form where you wish to spend time with people and keep
them happy and share things with them, not only caring for the
happiness of yourself but also for the people around you who you
have grown this bond with. Also you feel like you have to take care of
your family and ensure that they remain healthy and develop an
emotional attachment such as if they passed away then you would feel
pain and grief. Furthermore, you begin to feel a sexual intimacy
where feelings begin to develop for a person instead of sex just been
about one thing, you begin to feel more for the person and actually
want a relationship or for them to care for you. To continue with the
example of a child, this is where they don’t just have a connection
with the mother because they have been brought into the world by
them, but they also begin to develop a relationship with the father,
grandparents, uncles and aunties etc, instead of just recognising them
by small features but actually developing a love for them and a feel of
need for them around and not only the mother.

6. Esteem
Self esteem, confidence, achievement, respect of others, respect by
others.
With esteem, this is where you begin to respect yourself and
others, knowing what is right and wrong with the way you
treat others and how you can be helpful towards them but also
knowing how to respect yourself and make others respect you,
such as not been rude to others. Moreover this is where you
begin to get confidence and self esteem, where if somebody
was to insult you or try put you down you would know not to
take it offensively as you know what is right and wrong about
yourself and to not take negative judgement from others. You
begin to want to make achievements, be proud of yourself and
have others be proud of you when you do something such as
university. Again, this relates back to children as they would
want to make their parents proud, even if it was just a little
drawing they had created which they want to show them, but
also by respecting the rules of the household as they get older
knowing where and when they can go places,. What time they
have to be in when playing out, bed times etc.

7. Self Actualization – Highest form.
Morality, creativity, spontaneity, problem solving, lack of prejudice,
acceptance of fact.
The highest form is self actualization, this is where you begin to accept
things such as different races, religions, sexualities… showing a sense
maturity and respect. Due to having such large confidence after
building it up and learning the extents of confidence this is where
spontaneity comes into it, such as if someone said to you to go up on
karaoke you wouldn’t feel shy to do so and would automatically agree
to go up onto the karaoke. Creativity is a large aspect of this form,
everyone has a creative instinct in them whether its if you want to be
an artist, create a book, change something, design etc. but you have an
instinct in you which holds creativity, making you want to be active
and do something or create something new, just like cavemen.
Furthermore due to your confidence and self esteem you now feel that
problem solving isn’t such a hard task as you know how to give your
opinion in a respectful way without causing offence, meaning you can
solve problems easily without worrying. Linking back to the child this
is the highest form they can get to, as they grow up they will learn the
rights and wrongs of prejudice and accept the facts which are known in
every day life, hopefully not wanting to cause any upset to anyone and
want to create something new whether its their own family or just a
painting.
